Amazon Conservation’s team is comprised of creative, dedicated, hard-working, team-oriented professionals and we welcome interns with the same qualities.
Our internships are highly competitive and typically offered to candidates with specialized skills, relevant experience, good language skills, and an interest in conservation (but see each internship for specific details).
In addition to a hands-on internship experience, interning at Amazon Conservation gives you the opportunity to learn how nonprofits work and contribute to the conservation of one of the most important ecosystems in the world.
Internship dates are flexible but should last roughly five months (one-semester term). Preference will be given to interns who can commit to at least two full days per week (15 hours) of work, but all are encouraged to apply. Interns can also intern for longer periods/ multiple semesters. The locations for our internships are flexible. Ideally, interns will be based in the DMV area (Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia), so they can work at least one day a week at Amazon Conservation’s DC office, but other remote-based arrangements are available. Amazon Conservation operates in a hybrid work environment.
To apply, please follow the instructions in the internship description and send all documents to applications@amazonconservation.org Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; internships are open until filled.
Do you want to live and work where the Amazon meets the Andes? Do you want to gain practical skills in biodiversity monitoring, reforestation, and regenerative agriculture? Do you want to contribute to science and conservation in one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we want you for our volunteer program at Manu Biological Station!
This is the perfect opportunity for anyone with love of nature and a passion for protecting the planet, and no prior skills are required to participate. Discounts apply for longer visits, and all proceeds from the volunteer program are reinvested directly back into science and conservation here at Manu Biological Station.
